Trust Me, I’m a Doctor!

about how we trust people and why we trust them. In the professions, it’s mostly because of reputation, education and possibly job title.

Weallknowpeople,who, for psychological reasons don’t trust people, and for our profession, lets hope they don’t work in recruitment.

with evidence through References, Garda Vetting etc. etc., however, we’ve noticed, this year especially, more counteroffers.

I’ve just finished watching a really good series ‘Dr Death’ it’s the true story of a doctor in the US who (spoiler alert) ruined manypeople’slives.

It’smoreinterestingthan that, I just don’t want to ruin it for those who may watch it. (Good cast too, Alec Balwin & Christian Slater). Got me thinking

As recruiters we meet strangerseverydayandwe have the privilege to get to knowthesepeople,understand their qualities and requirements and hopefully assist them get their dream job. Ultimately, we have to trust people, we trust the information on the CV and trust their responsestoourmanyquestions at interview. Of course, we back this up

While most of our candidates are genuine, it’s so disheartening to have worked on an assignment, gettoofferstageonlytobe told by the candidate ‘I’m declining, my current boss offered more money’ even though when we met them, they were moving because they wanted career progression/recognitionetc. Result:Ourclient is unhappy; we’re deflated and then we’re gaslit by the candidate in question –notnice!

It’s affecting many employers who recruit directly too, having spent their time going through therecruitmentprocess.

Counter-offer is something we’ve really been attacking this year (we’ve onlyhadtwocasesbutstill that’s two too many), so we’re further honing our interview skills to ensure that we can continue to trustourcandidatesandto reassure our clients that they can continue trust us todoourjobproperly(not likeDrDeath).
